About me
I am a BACP Accredited therapist offering in-person sessions in Lewes, East Sussex, and online across the UK.
I offer an empathic and non-judgemental space to help you to identify, explore and work through your issues. Together, we can understand what you are struggling with in a meaningful way and bring about lasting change.
Through Psychodynamic Therapy , I will help you explore how your early relationships and experiences have influenced your life, thoughts, emotions and choices. This approach can help you understand yourself better, resolve internal and external conflicts and live more freely.
Our work together may include looking at both current and historical experiences and learned defences, exploring relationships past and present, associations, and your dreams and fantasies. I also integrate body awareness into my approach.
I work with individual adults. My approach is LGBTQ+ affirmative, neuro-diversity sensitive and trauma informed.
I began working with people as a nurse in mental health in 2007. Since then, my personal and professional interest in how our early relationships influence our later experiences has led me to become a psychodynamic therapist.
I believe that everyone has the potential for healing and growth from their past and in their present relationships. Psychotherapy provides a powerful aid to this journey.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Relationships are complex, and we all bring unconscious feelings and expectations from our earlier connections into new relationships. Through counselling, you will have a unique opportunity to explore patterns in how you relate to others 'live' with another person in the therapeutic relationship.
Together, we will work to better understand your current relationship problems and experiences in the context of your history. The feelings, experiences, and patterns we identify will help you create a new and better way to navigate and experience relationships.
Starting counselling
Our first meeting is an opportunity for both of us to experience working together in a counselling relationship.
You will choose what details of your history and current circumstances you are comfortable sharing, and we will discuss if psychodynamic counselling is right for you.
If you decide to start your counselling journey with me, we will then agree some practicalities, such as the timings of our sessions and whether you might like to work short-term or long-term.
I work with a wide range of issues and offer short, medium, or long-term therapy.
Fees
£65 per 50-minute session.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
